MANILA – Despite being used to sharing a glimpse of his life via vlogging, Wil Dasovich had to gather the courage to speak in a public forum about his cancer journey.

Recently, Dasovich finally agreed to share his story as part of the Strong for Someone campaign, which supports Filipinos diagnosed with cancer.

“I have always declined public talks that revolve around my battle and treatments because public speaking itself is hard enough for me [plus] I always find difficulty when speaking and somewhat reliving the entire experience,” he explained.

“But for this advocacy, I was finally ready to come out and share my story in hopes to both motivate others going through a similar experience and, most importantly, spread awareness for this incredible campaign,” he added.

Dasovich said he decided to lend his voice to the Strong for Someone campaign because it is “the first real program I have come across in the Philippines that is offering to provide so much for cancer patients, both financially and emotionally.”

He went on to stress the importance of having a support system in dealing with cancer, saying it “helped me get through the tough experience.”

“To everyone who has battled or is currently going through a great challenge, my prayers go out to both you and your family,” he said.

It was in August 2017 when Dasovich, a former housemate of “Pinoy Big Brother,” revealed that he has cancer.

In February 2018, Dasovich announced in an emotional vlog post that he is already “cancer-free.”
